The Rifugio Comici in Selva Val Gardena
At the feet of the Sassolungo lies Rifugio Comici – a mountain hut with heritage and character, where Mediterranean ease meets Alpine authenticity.
Our kitchen blends the freshness of the South with the purity of the mountains: fresh-caught fish in winter, fragrant herbs in summer, refined flavours prepared honestly and served with passion. Whether it’s an aperitivo on the terrace, a leisurely lunch inside our cozy dining rooms, or simply gazing out over the Sella peaks – Comici is a place to pause and savour. Here, memories take shape: A smile at the door. A glass of wine in the sun. A conversation that sparks something. A taste that lingers. Arrive on skis in winter or on foot in summer – those who find their way to us discover a place filled with atmosphere, flavour, and stories. An experience that stays with you and leaves you wanting more.

A Life Between Rock and Freedom
EMILIO COMICI
Emilio Comici, the hut’s namesake, lived for the mountains. Born in Trieste in 1901, he moved to the Dolomites at 31, where he became a mountain guide and dedicated himself to climbing. He opened numerous legendary routes, and his ascent of the North Face of the Sassolungo earned him a gold medal – a testament to his courage, skill, and pioneering spirit. His personal life was no less adventurous: stories of his many love affairs earned him a reputation as a Casanova. Tragically, his life ended in 1940 in the very mountains he adored, after falling from a wall during training. His courage, his sense of adventure, and his deep love for the Dolomites still shape the spirit of Rifugio Comici – a place filled with history, character, and passion.
